ABSTRACT
Chromium is one of the most common elements that exists in the environment in several oxidation states, principally as (i) metallic (Cr0), (ii) trivalent (chromium 3+), which is biologically active and found in food and nutrition supplements (iii) hexavalent (chromium 6+), largely synthesized by the oxidation of the more common and naturally occuring trivalent chromium. This is highly toxic and used in industries. Trivalent chromium is an essential nutrient with very low toxicity, found in most food and nutrition supplements, and is required in the diet in trace or small amounts, thus it is deemed a micronutrient. Its primary function is in carbohydrate and lipid (fat) metabolism.
